As
we watch the world as we know it hurtle toward an end, we are like alcoholics
and drug addicts who are watching their lives crumble. We all must change inwardly, and quickly,
evolving together, if we are to save life on planet earth.

We
are addicted to material objects, such as cars, computers, medicines, as well
as to material comfort- secure
housing, temperature regulation, plenty of food and water, etc. Some of us have given up some things we consider
essential for a good life, but it's very difficult to embrace complete
simplicity.

Our
addiction is to money, and what it can buy for us as consumers. Do we consider the source of our goods, and
their cost to the global environment?
Do we pay taxes that further the war machine that is contributing
heavily to the damage, and which is also distracting us from the horrendous
job of cleaning up?

We
all know by now that human materialism is the basic cause of the imbalance
with nature that is leading to global warming, nuclear pollution, and the
Sixth Great Extinction.

We
try to reduce our individual footprint- turn vegetarian, turn out lights,
switch . to bicycles. Our efforts seem
useless. How can we change rapidly
enough and cleanly enough to make a difference?
